A new Detroit band just got picked up by Metal Blade: Battlecross. It's very technical thrash, and they're all very good musicians, but it does have a touch of the "bro" to it. While it really isn't my cup of tea, it's nice to see this town represented by more than just BDM.

I encourage everyone to check out Orchid, if they haven't done so already. Spot-on Sabbath worship, done well.

EvilMoJoJoJo posted:On the subject of Skeletonwitch, is it worth paying for a ticket to see the Black Dahlia Murder just because Skeletonwitch are supporting? I'm kinda torn. I caught BDM a couple years ago at the Mayhem fest, and they were pretty good - energy wise and technically. I'd do it.

QPZIL posted:I wouldn't, no. Taake has always seemed a little "off" to me, and they've only gotten stranger. I can't recall exactly which song, but they use a really comedic "boing" noise in one of the other recent albums. Hoest may be going slightly more and more insane. Which is good.

A couple of months ago I started following Extreme Band of the Day on facebook, and it's been pretty beneficial. The bands are usually pretty good, and I've been turned on to a lot of stuff that I probably wouldn't have found on my own. They don't spam up the wall at all either, as it's usually two or three consecutive posts. Worth checking out, imo.

This is very important. I bought a Carpathian Forest t-shirt from a Totally Legit E-Bay store, and the screen on the front is a solid 2 inches off center.

Geisladisk posted:What the gently caress. A friend of mine is going to this gig. I caught an iteration of this a couple years ago, and the headliners (main stage) went Mushroomhead -> Slayer -> Marilyn Manson. Behemoth played to about 100 people, in the middle of the afternoon, in a parking lot. What the poo poo.

WoodrowSkillson posted:Sadly the economy really hit the Detroit metal scene hard. Shows at Harpos that used to have 2000+ people at them now barely get 1000, and lots of bands that used to go there are heading to the 500 person Blondies instead. People seem to not be able to afford 20 buck shows now. Also people don't want to get stabbed if they go to Harpo's which isn't helping the turnout either. Now bands are booking places the Magic Stick/Majestic/St. Andrews, which hold even less. It's like a big poo poo whirlpool that we can't escape.

WoodrowSkillson posted:Harpos is the safest it has ever been. They have had metal detectors since dime got shot, armed security in the lot, and they no longer let 18 year kids in the back stairway for half price with glass bottles of jack daniels. Btw being 18 and going to Harpos owned in 2002. Well poo poo, my bad! I haven't been there since '05, '06? I thought it was pretty sketchy then, but my opinion is definitely outdated. Still, it sucks that these places and shows aren't getting the turnout they deserve, even with quality national acts coming through.

Yeah I don't mind these one-trick ponies so much, for exactly that reason: consistency. Are there bands that do it better? Sure. Worse? Sure. Listening over these guys' catalog more, I'll certainly agree that I should brush up on my thrash.
